The type of isomerism present in the compound given, is:
Correct answer: C. Stereo
- A. Structural
- B. Optical
- C. Stereo
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same composition (that is, the same parts) but that differ in the orientation of those parts in space. There are two kinds of stereoisomers: enantiomers and diastereomers. The two conditions must be met for compounds to show Stereoisomerism(geometric isomerism) 1- There should be a C-C double bond to restrict the free rotation of attached groups.2- The two groups attached to the same C must be different.

About Isomerism
Isomerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but different atom arrangements or spatial orientations. The content includes chain, position, functional, metameric and tautomeric isomerism, along with geometrical and optical isomerism, including cis-trans forms, E/Z notation, chirality and enantiomers.
